Public Messages by Jesus and Mary and Joseph to Their Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even for June 2002

May 1, 2002

"Dear Children, as We begin another summer in the tenth year of these messages, We want to advise you, encourage you, and help you prepare for your future. Thus all the messages and lessons given this month reflect Heaven's great concern that you be ready for all that will occur and is occurring. We have done this meaningfully and with great earnestness. My Mother and I with St. Joseph have seen a lessening of spirit. We see a desire to forget tragedy and live but for each day. In so doing, you tend to forget to pray and preparation. So We decided to help you become more interested and involved.

Sweet Children, these days are your great sign that much more is to come. Do not waver in your goal. Do not dismiss Our efforts. More is upon your door-step. -Jesus"

April 30, 2002 - A message from Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio, while traveling.

"My Dear Children, I ask you to pray for Souls especially for those Persons who are dying unprepared. As you pray for Souls, I ask you to be a consolation to others. I ask you to think of others, help others, through the tragic loss of their loved ones. But most of all, pray for all Souls and their salvation.

That is all, My Child."

May 1, 2002 - A message from Our Lady of Sorrows at the Sorrowful Mother Shrine in Bellville, Ohio while traveling.

"Sweet Child, ask all to pray for Souls and help Me to save Souls for the Glory of God the Father. So many are dying in great sorrow physically, but I look on their Souls. If only these Souls would know to offer their sufferings for their sins and in reparation for sins. Pray My Children, pray for the conversion and salvation of Souls."

May 4, 2002 - A message from Our Lady of the Cape in Cap de la Madeleine, Quebec, Canada while traveling.

"My Child, I greet you at My Holy Shrine and welcome you and all the Pilgrims. It is important now to ask all to pray, yes, but also to visit Holy Shrines to pray. Visit My Shrines, Dear Children, and ask for the Grace and blessings needed in your lives. Much Grace and blessings are given to those who visit My Holy Shrines.

Dear Children, when you visit Holy Shrines, have some specific intentions and requests. Request these and pray for these blessings."

May 15, 2002

"During the months ahead you will experience much difficulty in the U.S. and the World. The Eternal Father will let happen that which the Terrorists are planning as part of your chastisement. It is necessary for all the evilness permitted against the young, the unborn and the elderly, for the sinful displays and just plain evil which your societies have permitted, indeed encouraged. Do not be surprised. With that in mind, it behooves you to prepare.

I call this year, a year of Solemnity because of the great need for prayer. Try to understand you are never alone for all the Angels and Saints of Heaven are here on earth battling against all from Hell who are also upon earth. It is a war, My Children, of good versus evil. You are the prize, your Souls are the prize. Keep your Souls always for God alone. - Jesus"

May 15, 2002

"My Children, the earnestness of the Heavenly Hosts to assist you should prove a welcome relief for those who wonder how they are going to get through these difficult days. My Children, call upon all of Heaven, the Angels and the Saints, to support you, guide you, protect you, help you. They will come, but I remind you again, you must ask for their help. Just simply say aloud, "May the Angels and Saints, surround protect, guide and assist me, this day and all my life."

In this war for your Soul, you must fortify yourselves with frequent Mass, Holy Communion, Rosary, Meditation and other prayers. These are your weapons, your armor. Clutch your rosary beads. Wear your sacramentals. Protect your home, car and person. Never let a day pass without some prayers.

Be not afraid. We are with you. - Mary"

May 15, 2002

"My Sweet Children, I will conclude these public messages with a Special prayer to God the Eternal Father for you all.

"Dear Eternal Father, may all these who read and believe in Our Holy Words, receive a great gift of enlightenment and an Angel of Enlightenment to clear their minds and open their hearts to see and understand what you desire of them. I pray for them and ask for your Special Blessing upon them. Amen."

Thank you, My Children. I am Joseph"

"My Sweet Children, these days of extra alert, vigilance, against terrorists, may appear strange and disorienting for those whose lives never had to cope with such pressures, but for many in the world, this way of life is the way they live. It has been prophesied that there would be such step by step grades of difficulty. Yes, and as there are more threats, life will become more and more hazardous. Step by step you are being led through these difficult days. Step by step you will see that this turmoil of existence will build brick by brick to greater and greater difficulties.

I do not speak this way to scare you further but to help you recognize the truth of these days if you have not done so already. You need to understand that it shall proceed step by step to greater and more awesome limits for many events are yet to come.

If you are physically and mentally ready, but most particularly Spiritually ready, you will have no problem coping, yet to be inconvenienced in such ways will cause you to question, talk, argue, exclaim and be upset. These are normal reactions for human beings, yet the days will come even for you, when change and difficulties will be a normal way of life as it is for many today in the World.

Change can be seen in the World easily but such step by step, brick by brick change is also occurring in the Church as the Modernists push their plan for the Church and the resultant changes they desire upon you. Brick by brick these persons are tearing down the Dogma and Faith principles and brick by brick rebuilding their religion and church. It is theirs. It is not Mine. Brick by brick they are building a wall between you and the Holy Father. Brick by brick they are separating themselves from the

True Faith and Church. This wall will lead to the Schism which has been prophesied for many years. The only way you can be sure to hold to the True Faith is to know the True Faith and not let those who would separate you from it accomplish their goal. We have spoken of this before also. Know your True Faith. Follow the Dogma and True Faith practices. Know the Catechism. Know the proper Sacramental Rites. Check on the correctness of these Rites as you participate in them. How? Just keep your eyes and ears open. Maintain security in Faith practices.

My Children, if the Modernists announced certain changes to you, you could then try to speak to them or ask their purpose, but this is not their approach. Instead piece by piece, step by step, they will just begin to use innovative means to alter the ways of carrying out the Rites for various Sacraments and practices. If you don't catch on early, you will be taken in. Try then to notice things, listen more to all that occurs in Church.

Sweet Children, there have now been innumerable examples of changes which the people accepted. No one appeared to complain or question. The Priest appeared angry with those who asked why such changes were occurring, and so they did not question him further. In one parish in Wisconsin, the Priest told everyone to stand from the Gospel to the end of Mass. He would not allow anyone to kneel for the Consecration or Holy Communion or after Holy Communion. For some unknown reason now he has been moved from that parish. The next Priest said kneel and all of the parishioners do so gratefully. Why didn't they insist they wished to kneel before? "0 we do not want to cause any problem." Well, it is time to see the problems, talk about it, tell the Bishop. He may not do anything either, but you have tried at least.

So, My Children, I ask you to stay alert, awake, and know that it is important how Faith Practices are carried out. It is important that Priests use the words prescribed by the Church for proper Catholic Sacramental Rites. It is important that the form and structure be used as prescribed to ensure the Sacrament is carried out. Some say, "It's not really important. A Priest did it so it must be okay." I am saying to you that, at this time, you must be alert and listen and know if all is as it should be. This is your means of security.

I wish to give you an example. A Priest asked the Parents and Godparents at a Baptism to say the words of Baptism as he, the Priest, poured the water over the head of the baby. Is this a valid Baptism? No, My Children, it is not. In fact, in this instance, all the babies baptized in this way by the Priest had to be re-Baptized at the Bishop's directions. A simple innovation which may appear wholesome, but is invalid. The Priest or person baptizing must say the words as he or she lets the water run over the head of the person to be Baptized. You must check this Rite and understand the True Faith practice. The person baptizing must do both the pouring of the water and the saying of the words for a valid Baptism.

Simple changes, showing innovation, creativity, some say. Why? There are rules the must be followed, words that must be said. No changes may be made. Please, My Children, learn your Faith. Recognize that only in this way do you have security in the True Faith.

I offer you another example. When a person is about to die, it is wise to ask a Priest to offer Confession, Communion and the blessing of the sick. These days Deacons appear at the bedside of the sick with Holy Eucharist and the Holy Oils. What about Confession? The last and greatest moment for the dying person to unburden their Soul. 0, it is so sad for many would do so, but without a Priest no Confession can take place. My Children, make every effort to find a good Priest to help the dying person with a good last Confession.

0, My Children, step by step, brick by brick, the Modernists are building a wall between you and the True Faith and you do not recognize this or are blind to it. In some cases people do not care. You should care. You have a great responsibility to care. It is your Soul that is losing the security of the Faith. It is the Souls of your family and children that are losing the gifts and Graces offered by the True Faith practices. Yes, you should care a great deal.

Now, My Children, these days have many hazards, many difficulties both in the World and the Church. When the Holy Father flees the Vatican, you shall be sorely tested for your knowledge of the True Faith. You must be on alert. You must be vigilant both in the World and in your Faith. These are the days We have been preparing you for. These are the times, the End times, We have spoken of so often. You needn't be afraid if you maintain your security.

I wanted to speak of these things because so many are waiting for big things to occur, whereas it is really the little things that have moved ahead quietly and quickly. Too late some will see how much has been lost. Too late some will realize the Truth.

It is all very sad, even now, to watch as the evil one has his way in the World and the Church. It is sad because as more and more people are taken from you, so few see what is happening. So few see the forest for the trees. Individuals complain over this or that, but they fail to see how it all fits into a larger picture of destruction and heresy.

I love you all, My Children, be not afraid. - Jesus"

"My Sweet Children, each day of your lives you need to maintain a security of Soul. Each day of your lives you need to check whether you personally are ready for whatever God asks of you that day. Each day of your life you ask yourself, "Am I ready?" You may say, "ready for what?" I say, ready for whatever God asks of you. Whether this be problems, difficulties, inconveniences, injury, illness or even death, are you ready?

In Nebraska this week, a great windstorm blew up the dry newly plowed field along an interstate highway. The dust storm was so thick there was only twenty feet visibility. Cars and trucks tried to move through the dust storm resulting in an eight car and truck accident and a ten-mile backup of cars. There were two deaths�a twenty year old male and a twenty-three year old male�and numerous injuries to others. So quick. It came quickly, unexpectedly, and people who have never experienced such a storm really were not prepared. It has since rained in the area to lessen further chances of this happening again, but it shows you how quickly new and unexperienced events can occur.

Your whole lives these days are like a dust storm. You do not know when or if something will occur. You must be prepared for all events and acting prudently, be prepared to stop, to decide a wise course of action. People who were experienced did stop when they saw the dust storm by pulling off the road, but young people do not have the experience.

Thus you need to recognize when possible problems are going to occur and act in virtue with prudence, patience and temperance. Those who see themselves as fighters against all odds will not act prudently and may be beset by great tragedy. "Look before you leap." Think ahead to understand how to manage things. Consider your options.

These days are like no others. These are days of events you may not have experienced so you need to consider how you will react and act. Do not let yourselves become apathetic to life's demands, but, rather, stay focused.

Now these temperaments need to apply to the World and to the Church. There are many aspects to consider I know and you have not and can not think of everything, but you can consider how to be prudent and patient in all you do. This attitude will increase your ability to withstand great unexpected circumstances.

0 My Children, I wish more were ready to carry out what God will ask of you. So few are because they do not want to hear, or see or learn that their lives may change and they will need to cope.

Already you have heard of the implanting of the microchip in some people for security reasons. People appear to be pleased to have this happen to them. It is not the time for the powerful microchip implantation as yet, but you see how the media is preparing people to view it as a practical thing. Do not accept the chip in any form of your free will, please. Though the current chip is not the powerful chip, it can be later made to be so. Remember it is the sign of 666 as Scripture tells you, that is of Satan. Do not be lost foolishly in the media hype over this. Prudently plan how you can avoid it. Think, My Children. Remain always with your God, the Eternal Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Do not give yourselves to Satan.

I speak of these things so you can be alerted and consider how you will act and react. If presented with an actual experience of this or that nature, you probably will react as you think best, but everyone speaks of "hind sight" and possibly doing things differently or better if given knowledge ahead that such an event may occur. We are saying to you now, all sorts of events will occur, please consider now how you may react to them.

If you reflect upon Our instructions over the years, you will realize We have spoken of acquiring virtue, especially fortitude and patience. We have asked you to prepare yourselves and family to be secure and prepared. We have spoken of events. We have given you all the pieces to consider, now We are putting them all together. These are the days to put all We have asked of you together. We have asked you also to learn the Faith, to stay with the Holy Father and the True Faith. We have forewarned you of the Modernists and their goal of separation and schism. We have asked you to pray for your Holy Pontiff, the Church, the Faith, for Priests and that you may find a good, holy Priest, the Sacraments and those to pray with. We have done Our part, Dear Children, now it is up to you.

We speak of these things because We love you and desire you to be able to overcome the difficult days ahead. We do not do so for fun or to make you uncomfortable or to scare you. If all this discussion does scare you, then it is time to prepare so you can handle these events. Fear adds only emotion, not common sense. Use your common sense. Use what God has given you, your mind. You can do this. Try.

For those elderly who do not understand what to do, recognize you can talk to others or just sit and think about how you could prepare. Think about what you need to prepare and how. Try to recognize that it is not something others can do for you or that someone will say not to do anything. This I believe some will try to do. They may say something to some others who say you do not need to do anything. That is not so. We have been advising you for years and just because you think you are too old, that is not a reason. You are only too old if you are 150 years old, then God will take care of you. No one is that old today, therefore you can prepare something. Get your mind set on doing something. Try to work on it. Make notes. Tell others what you need help on.

For those younger, I advise you to get to work now.

Dear Children life will change dramatically in the years ahead and each day now is a Grace for you. Use it wisely. - Mary"

Prophetic Messages by St. Joseph

June-Vol. 3

May 1, 2002

"Dear Children, both the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the Blessed Mary, Every Virgin have sufficiently alerted you again for preparation, alertment and security. This they have done in earnest for We are seeing many who could prepare but deliberately decide not to prepare. Some even have stated that they hope to die because all this is too much work.

0 My Children, it gives me great sadness to see you give in to the evil one who causes you to think in despair and futility. It is not right to lose heart and become so eager to give up against the enemy. It is not right for you to dismiss yourself before God Who eagerly wishes to help all because He loves you, each and every one. Just try, Dear Children, try to do something to prepare yourselves Spiritually, mentally and physically. If no more, then do the Spiritual and mental preparation. God wants this for you.

Now I turn My attention to the direction given me by God the Eternal Father. He wants me to speak about the way Catholics seem to be taken advantage of due to their belief that they can not or should not speak out when pressured thinking that it is wrong and lacks humility. You have confused laziness for humility. You have forgotten that Justice demands you try to do something against the evil overtaking you. Justice demands you try. While you may not achieve the goal you seek, at least you should try to correct the errors you see and hear about. This applies to Church problems as well as world problems. A letter, a call, speaking to someone, at least try to do something. At least pray for the situation to be resolved and pray for those affected. That is the least and yet great before God the Father. Pray and ask the Angels and Saints to help with the situation.

I am surprised at how few who see some error or problem feel they do not wish to be involved and do nothing. If they speak of the problem, it usually is to those close to them, friends or family, who agree there is a problem but do nothing about it. Fear of involvement leads people away from Justice. Justice requests you to act appropriately when problems are encountered.

So many today just do not feel they have the time or interest to help when they could do so. This does not imply you will get your way or that your actions will resolve the problem, but you can say you have tried.

This is especially true today in the Church and, to be sure, Bishops are more open to people's comments due to the problems faced by the pedophile priests. Bishops are encountering people more readily and now recognize they must listen though they may not do anything. At least you made your feelings heard before God and man.

It is courage you need. It is strength of resolve. It is difficult at times, but you can do what needs to be done privately. It is hard to make yourselves known, yet you can do so and still maintain your security. Just be prudent and resourceful.

Stand up for your rights while you can. When enough people speak against the whims of a Priest, the Bishop may listen and seek some change. If you let those persons in charge of an office or bureau know what is wrong, you express the opinion of many who have not spoken up and people know this and listen, but someone must make the effort to speak up. Whole books have been written about those who, in their lives, find the courage to speak up when they see problems.

God the Father wants you to know He would like to see you practice Justice with more eagerness. Too many are afraid and do not wish to become involved, and this is wrong.

My Children, I encourage you to know your Faith and Faith practices. I encourage you to keep up with the ways the Church, the Holy Father with the Bishops, Cardinals and other Prelates are working in the Church. Read about decisions made. Study the Dogmas. In addition I believe you should become more aware of your government's actions. Keep up with the news. Read the paper. If you think your paper or magazine is biased, find another. The World news and the Church news are important contributors to your life's efforts and your Soul's destiny.

Without proper clothing, you offend God. He takes grievance from this behavior. It also distracts others from their prayers and attention. I say only very selfish, self-centered individuals would parade into Church uncovered. And in that there is sinning. So I ask you, as one who has seen it all, to be more kind to your God, and do not cause Him any more grief.

In addition I remind you to pray this summer. Do not take time off just because it is summer. There will be plenty of events this summer to pray about. The Terrorists attacks have not ended. They have only begun. You need to pray for all those whose lives will be disrupted by these attacks. Indeed pray that God in His Mercy will not bring trouble to you through these disruptive events. You have no idea, nor does any one truly know where or when some event is planned. The Terrorists are led by those who decide quickly after all is planned. I assure you there could be an attack about ever way.

So pray, My Children, pray that God the Father will be merciful and dissuade the attackers from your area and city. Pray to the Blessed Queen of Heaven to protect your area. Pray Her Chaplet of the Immaculate Heart of Mary given years ago in these messages. That Chaplet has great power to hold back evil from a city or area. Pray Her Rosary each day and ask for the protection of the Blessed Queen of Heaven and Her Saints and Angels.

Now My Children, it is not by chance that the Lessons this month have all stressed the need for prayer, preparation and alertment. This is a grave time for all. So many are falling victim to various tragedies and illnesses. Some are also dying now, especially those who could not withstand the difficulties of further attacks and war.

Keep yourselves always prepared Spiritually and you really will have nothing to fear. Fear comes when one experiences hardship and crisis which is new and hurts or others are hurt. You need not be afraid. Remember Our God never sends you a difficulty beyond your ability to manage it. Prayer however increases your capacity to handle more.

Have some Masses said for yourselves and your family. It won't cost you very much�a small stipend. Ask for Grace for these days ahead. Seek Grace to overcome evil and do good in your lives and that of your family members.

Pray together. Stay together. Live always in the presence of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Ask your Angels and Saints to surround, protect, guide and assist you.

We love you all. Until next month, I am Joseph"
